Bug Description

(From bug 391820):

It would also interesting to use pkgmaintainermangler to modify the maintainer of each package in a PPA to be the person/team who owns the PPA or the person who uploaded the package.

This will need server-side support from the buildd-manager side too, but I'm all for the concept. The mangling should be to the "archive owner" (so, PPA owner for a user PPA, team contact for a team PPA, I guess), not the individual uploader, IMO.

(server-side, the easiest way to do this is, once we've figured out what needs to be in that field, I need an rfc822 style full email passed in extra_args, and I can then deal with it on my side in sbuild, which the mangler can then pick up)

This also affects Ubuntu devs who have their PPA's forked, incidentally. And, perhaps more relevantly, the person actually uploading the fork never receives build failure mails.
